One of my favorite places🤍

The whole Bay of Kotor is so breathtaking and definitely worth a visit. I've been there twice, once in January for two weeks and then in July for a couple of days. I always felt safe even walking alone after dark (safer than in Finland which is a lot to say).
I was one of the only turists in January which made it more special in my opinion, though swimming in these landspaces in July was a magical experience. It didn't get overgrowded even in July, smaller towns remained quiet. Best time to visit in my opinion would probably be late spring / fall.

There is a lot...

I sadly dont have any pictures but it was beautiful. Most of the city is inside of a medieval walls and they had a carmeval right when I was there. Really beautiful. Good food. Amazing view. Beautiful in general.

Kotor absolutely exceeded my expectations. Compared to other European cities, it is relatively cheap, beautiful, and I felt safe there all the time.
